### Instructions:
#### 1. **Grill the Steak:**
Start by seasoning your steaks. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Rub the mixture over both sides of the steaks, making sure they’re evenly coated. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before grilling.
Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steak cooked more. Once done, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This will help retain the juices and keep the steak tender.
After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain for the best texture.
#### 2. **Prepare the Cheddar Sauce:**
While your steak is grilling, you can prepare the rich, creamy cheddar sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, creating a roux (this will help thicken the sauce).
Gradually pour in the milk while constantly whisking to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and a pinch of cayenne pepper, if using. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the sauce on low heat to keep it warm.
#### 3. **Prepare the Flatbread:**
Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil on both sides and heat them on the grill or in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until they’re slightly crispy and golden brown. This step adds a smoky flavor and texture to the bread, which pairs wonderfully with the steak and cheddar sauce.
#### 4. **Assemble the Dish:**
Now comes the fun part—assembling the Grilled Steak Flatbread! Lay your warm flatbread on a serving platter. Evenly distribute the sliced grilled steak over the flatbread, creating a generous layer. Drizzle a generous amount of the creamy cheddar sauce over the steak, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
If desired, garnish the flatbread with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives for a burst of color and freshness. You can also add a few optional toppings like sliced red onions, arugula, or even fresh tomatoes for extra crunch and flavor.
#### 5. **Serve and Enjoy!**
Slice the Grilled Steak Flatbread into portions, and it’s ready to serve! This dish is perfect for a casual dinner or as part of a larger spread for a gathering. The combination of smoky grilled steak, creamy cheddar sauce, and warm flatbread will leave everyone coming back for more.
### Tips for Success:
– **Choice of Steak:** Ribeye or sirloin are great options, but feel free to use any cut of steak you prefer. Just make sure it’s tender and well-marbled for the best grilling experience.
– **Cheddar Sauce Variations:** Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Adding a bit of cream cheese or gouda can give the sauce an extra creamy texture or smoky flavor.
– **Toppings:** Get creative with your toppings! Fresh arugula adds a peppery bite, while tomatoes provide juiciness. For a bit of crunch, you can add pickled onions or jalapeños.
